Angry Trump supporter calls the cops on black lawmaker for talking to voters

New York state Sen. Jesse Hamilton this week said that he had the cops called on him by a Trump supporter who was upset about the campaign literature he was passing out to voters.

The New York Daily News reports that the woman, who has a heavy European accent, first grew upset with Hamilton because he was supposedly taking too soft of a stance on immigration.

After berating Hamilton, she then called 911 and asked the police to do something about him — but when police arrived on the scene, they very quickly concluded that absolutely no action needed to be taken to stop the state senator from talking with voters.

In a video posted on Hamilton’s Facebook page, the woman identifies herself as a Trump supporter and reacts angrily to a Hamilton campaign flier in which he pledges to “fight back [against] Trump.”

“This is should not be here,” the woman says in the video while pointing at the flier. “If they really want nation be as one and fight for a better life and live in a better life, you wouldn’t put this here.”

Watch the video, which was filmed by Hamilton staffer Raul Rothblatt, below.
